Advocaat brings a wealth of experience to his latest post having previously won major league and cup silverware during spells with PSV Eindhoven, Rangers and Zenit St Petersburg, who he also guided to UEFA Cup glory in 2008.

He has also had spells in charge of the Holland national team, the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Belgium and most recently Russia.

AZ, who sit ninth in the Eredivisie standings, will have Advocaat in the dugout for Sunday's meeting with Cambuur Leeuwarden.
